Nissan’s halo supercar is going to see a new generation, and it will once again sit separately from the next-generation Skyline.CEO Ivan Espinosa told media in Japan this week that, while the business focuses on right-sizing its model range and reducing complexity, he cannot see a future where Nissan doesn’t have a hero GT-R product as part of it.“GT-R? Is it a priority? Yes, and yes! It’s one of the strongest, I would say, brands in our portfolio,” Mr Espinosa said.“It’s not only a car, it’s a symbol.

We’ll admit it: when we first got wind of Mercedes-Benz’s plans to refresh its flagship EQS sedan for 2027, we weren’t expecting much. Other manufacturers have stolen headlines with aggressive aerodynamic redesigns and radical powertrain tech, and Mercedes seemed poised to let its enormous flagship sedan coast on little more than its incredible name recognition. But look again, because the German automaker isn’t messing around. Don’t get us wrong: at a glance, the new EQS doesn’t look all that different than its predecessor.
